The last day of the year is the FD of St Melania (the Younger, not to be confused with her grandmother St Melania the Elder or any other Melania). One of the great women of the early church, she persuaded her husband to free 8000 slaves and give all their property to the poor.

“The Lord knows that I am unworthy, and I would not dare compare myself with any good woman, even of those living in the world. Yet I think the Enemy himself will not at the Last Judgment accuse me of ever having gone to sleep with bitterness in my heart.” (#BeBest = #BeHoly)

St. Melania the Younger ( b. 383) was the paternal granddaughter of St. Melania the Elder. After the deaths of their children she established convents and charities in Sicily and Africa. Her diaconal status is undisputed. Feast Day December 31.
